A PRACTICAL GUIDE FOR 2005

USAID Missions

The Development Executive Group • Doing Business with USAID Missions: A Practical Guide for 2005 www.DevelopmentEx.com

2

As the most successful companiesworking in the industry know,many of the important decisions made by USAID affecting contracts and grantswith outside organizations are made at the Mission level. USAID currently hasabout 100 overseas missions, most with their own budgets and uniqueprocurement practices. Doing Business with USAID Missions: A Practical Guidefor 2005 is a useful and easy-to-use resource for organizations looking to learnmore about USAID’s work overseas and build the important relationships at thecountry level.

The first section of the report is a table summarizing the contact information foreach mission. Following the contact information, in the main body of the report,are program overviews for each mission. The countries are divided according tothe various regions USAID focuses its work on: Africa, Asia and the Near East,Europe and Eurasia, and Latin America and the Caribbean. The three sections inthe country reports include:

1. A summary of the role the mission plays accompanied by facts regarding thepolitical, social and economic context as well as areas of emphasis for USAIDwork.

2. An analysis of the USAID budget request for each mission to allow companiesand NGOs to determine the priority areas and monetary commitments for eachprogram area.

3. A listing of select firms and NGOs working on projects in each country—building relationships with experienced organizations can sometimes be thebest way for new companies to become involved in USAID projects.

This service tool is a product of the Development Executive Group, a leadingglobal membership organization comprised of firms, NGOs and individuals whowork in international development. The 2005 Guide is a follow up to last year’sUSAID Missions and Project Forecast Guide. Along with providing researchproducts like this guide, the Development Executive Group provides research,recruiting and networking services to its 150 companies and over 35,000individual members.

However, a number of programs are still operated from theRegional Center for Southern Africa (RCSA), which is based in Gaborone, Botswana.

Current work in the country focuses ongovernance, disease control and economic growth.



BurundiMission Director: Andrew Sisson

All Burundi programs are managed by REDSO/ESA in Nairobi, Kenya. A ceasefire agreement signedin December 2002 and successful implementation of the Arusha Peace and Reconciliation Accord(APRA) have lessened conflict and enhanced stability in the Great Lakes region allowing USAID toimplement various projects. Efforts can now be tailored toward improving the health status of thepopulation as well as increasing food security which will diminish the risk of further economicdisruption and help to decrease Burundi’s dependence on international humanitarian assistance.

EthiopiaMission Director: William Hammink

Strategically located between Somalia and Sudan, Ethiopia is a vital US ally in efforts to promoteregional stability in the Horn of Africa and is also a key ally in the global war on terrorism. USAID willrevise its current strategy in response to the shortening cycle of crises and the HIV/AIDS pandemic.The new strategy will seek to correct the imbalance between humanitarian assistance anddevelopment assistance by building resiliency in Ethiopia to withstand and manage shocks, whilelaying the foundation for sound economic growth in all service sectors: health, education, watermanagement, transport, and agricultural and pastoralist extension.

GhanaMission Director: Sharon Cromer

Despite instability in the region, Ghana remains surprisingly politically stable. Even so, inflation, apossible elevation in refugees on account of warring in neighboring Cote d’Ivoire and the need fordecentralization present challenges to the African nation. USAID is working with key ministries, suchas health and education, to promote decentralization.

USAID work is focusing on merging objectives of the FY1997-2004 plan with the FY2004-2010 planin the areas of:

• Enhancing good governance and decentralization.• Increasing private sector-led economic growth.• Improving the quality of and access to primary education.• Improving the quality of and extending the coverage of family planning, maternal child healthcare,

GuineaMission Director: Annette Adams

According to USAID, Guinea possesses great potential for economic growth due to an abundance ofnatural resources, its excellent conditions for agriculture, and its strategic location that favors trade.Unfortunately, corruption and favoritism, unstable borders, questionable political stability, and lack ofcontrol and transparency in managing budget resources continue to hamper development progressand severely discourage needed foreign and domestic investment in Guinea. These conditions alsopose a potential threat to regional stability. Yet Guinea is also a moderate Muslim country andmaintains a moderate, secular orientation in its foreign policy, thus making it of strategic importanceto the US.

The USAID program is based on four themes:• Natural resources management and incomes in rural areas• Family planning, health and welfare of women and children, and HIV/AIDS• Education with emphasis on girls and rural children• Democratic progress

KenyaMission Director: Kiert Toh

Kenya is the dominant economy in the Horn of Africa. As a center for commercial and economicactivity in a regional market of nearly 200 million people, it has the potential to promote economicgrowth and stability throughout the region. Kenya is also very important in the US fight againstterrorism. Other important US foreign policy interests include: promoting regional stability, supportingdemocratization, encouraging economic prosperity, and combating HIV/AIDS.

In order to help achieve these goals, the USAID assistance strategy is to build a prosperous,democratic Kenya through addressing six objectives:

• Improving the balance of power among the institutions of government• Promoting sustainable use of natural resources• Improving rural incomes by increasing agricultural and rural enterprise opportunities• Improving health conditions• Providing education support for children of marginalized populations• Promoting economic development through trade and investment

LiberiaMission Director: Ed Birgells

Liberia is widely seen as one of Africa’s preeminent “failed states” in which the central governmenthas ceased to provide essential security and services. According to USAID, the current government’spolicies on human rights and fostering regional instability have prevented the international communityfrom providing the support that Liberia desperately needs to adequately address the growinghumanitarian crisis and to overcome its serious social and economic problems.

REGION: ASIA AND THE NEAR EASTAssistant Administrator for Asia and the Near East:Wendy Chamberlin ([email protected])

USAID serves the development needs of three very distinct regions: the Middle East, South Asia, andSoutheast Asia. There are also substantial differences between countries in each of the regions. For anindication of the differences among countries, see the Country Profiles. USAID maintains offices anddirect hire staff in thirteen of the countries. It has no comparable field staff in the remaining “non-presence” countries. Instead, development programs in non-presence countries receive support fromUSAID offices in Washington, and are implemented by partner organizations that do maintain a fieldpresence.

A peaceful and growing E&E region expands possibilities for UStrade and investment and encourages the integration of these countries into regional organizationsand global markets. The United States also seeks a cooperative relationship with the E&E region on arange of critical national security issues, ranging from support for the international coalition inAfghanistan and Iraq to the future make-up and viability of trans-Atlantic institutions.

To better integrate the new focus on development in the US National Security Strategy with other USforeign policy objectives, the US Department of State and USAID developed a Joint Strategic Plan. TheE&E Bureau is focusing on three of the Plan’s twelve strategic goals: a) democracy and human rights,b) economic prosperity and security, and c) social and environmental issues. USAID programs in theE&E region also advance the joint strategy’s strategic goals of humanitarian response, regionalstability, and the promotion of international understanding.
